Additionally, we are seeking the support from southern Tasmanian civil construction organisations to support the placement of participants of this program for a paid work placement which will assist participants experience the day-to-day operations of a busy construction environment firsthand.

Working together with industry, we aim to provide the migrant worker with a unique experience as they transition into a career within the civil construction sector and encourage local businesses to better appreciate and understand the valuable contributions a diverse multi-cultural workforce can bring.
